Rodhull Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 20 minutes ago, DukDukGoose said: We could protect the defence by holding on to the ball for a little while. Just a thought. Don’t be silly, next you’ll be suggesting we play a midfield 5 that isn’t entirely made up of centre mids? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) I actually think we could be on to something here - this has been the Cormack and FMB strategy all along. Edited January 30 by tarapoa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Is anyone actually protesting tonight BEFORE the game? Sounds like a load of pish to me. Edit: I see it's a AFChat thing. So just some utter roasters then. Edited January 30 by Suspect Device 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbrush1903 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Is it correct that Ally Shewan has passed? 50 year association with the club, if true that he's passed, then the man deserves a big send off from the club and supporters. Which actually poses a question, does anyone know if the club does anything special when we lose one of our Hall of Famers?

He played a phenomenal number of consecutive matches for the Dons. Sad news if he is dead.

fasda2 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Sorry to hear this. He was a top notch full back in an era when there was quite a few around including Chalky White his long term partner. I can remember a specific Ally Shewan dying minutes sliding tackle in a 1967 cup tie at Easter Road to secure the draw. We won the replay 3-0. ETA - Just looked this up on AFC Heritage, 37,000 at Easter Road, 44,000 at Pittodrie.

He done well in this system last year. Maybe everyone has figured out the system, Barry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played the European champions in the final so I suppose we did ok although I didn’t think so at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't really at it, conceding a goal 3 minutes before half time and then the second 4 minutes after killed us completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
